Baldur's Gate 3 E.A.?

[Grey Cloud]

Anyone playing it or any thoughts on it?

 

I'm not playing it yet, just watching LPs but I'm liking what I see.

I bought it, But only play for a bout 15-20 mins.  I really enjoyed what it has so far.  A few things are locked for EA.  If you like your D&D and turn base action its worth keepin an eye on it

I have it too. From what i've played seems an improvement over DoS2 in most aspects, though it is obviously a beta. Many unfinished assets and missing content. What bothers me most is that it only goes to level 4 currently.

 

Can't comment on adherence to DnD (5th edition) rules or if it deserves the name ?

I do and I am. ?

First question: what size is the actual download?

I cool enough with the unfinished and missing part. What I'm not liking is the L4 cap; why not make it L5 as several of the LPs I've watched get to L4 long before they have exhausted all the content.

I don't know if things have changed in 5e but the game seems to have made a pig's ear of Rogue sneak attack and the whole dual-wielding/two-weapon style thing.

 

 

What I'm also not liking is all the cutscenes.

Yes, it is quite easy to reach, and there are enemies higher level than 4. I'm guessing they'll add more levels once they are ready to test higher level spells and abilities, but no such thing has been promised yet.

 

And install size on my drive is about 80 GB. Download was 67GB or something that size, had to reinstall it after both patches since they are having some issues with the patching process.  A standard 2020 AAA size, in other words.

This is what is confusing me. 8.2GB maybe since its only the first chapter but 80GB?

Seems to be two texture pak files that together take up over 60 GB

9GB for voice acting.

 

Seems legit.

Looks like I need to make a decision soon. I'm usually on a metered connection but that is currently being waived due to the pandemic (to help people working from home).

Hold that vaccine until I get BG3. ☹️
